We receive countless calls every time the temperatures drop below normal ranges, as homeowners here in North Carolina encounter problems with their home’s heating system.
Stand outdoors on one of those days when the weather feels perfect, take a few deep breaths, and enjoy the fresh air. Later, take another deep breath—only inside your North Carolina home. How does it compare?
It is an “Oh no!” moment when you approach your home’s thermostat and see its screen is blank. Is it serious? Does it mean your furnace, heat pump, or air conditioning is broken? Not necessarily. In fact, most of the time, it is something minor and can be easily fixed.
Is your furnace blowing air without pause? If so, you’re probably feeling a bit concerned—and your Matthews house most likely feels like an oven. On top of that, your utility bill will be considerably higher with your furnace constantly running.
Our team at Charlotte Heating & Air regularly gets calls about frozen heat pumps. Though common, a heat pump freeze-up usually means your system’s components are not working correctly. Sometimes you can fix it yourself. But oftentimes, you will need to call a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) professional, like us, as the problem may require a part replacement or complex repair.
You just discovered there is a puddle of water on the floor in front of your furnace. What does this mean?
This issue happens more often than not with older furnaces, and it could be a sign you are ready to upgrade your Charlotte home’s heating and cooling system with a new model. At the 10-year mark, furnaces start to lose efficiency and begin breaking down more frequently.
If your furnace is producing a strange smell, you should always treat it with caution. While the cause for the odor may be benign, it could just as easily be harmful to inhale. When in doubt, always open windows to ensure ventilation, and evacuate your Matthews home.
Here in North Carolina, we’ve reached the season that makes you say, “Gosh, it’s so dark out. Is it really only six in the evening?” Before the days get too short, remember to check off heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) maintenance from your autumn to-do list.
Fall is a beautiful time of the year—but it comes with a drop in humidity levels. If you’re concerned about the humidity change and want to enhance your comfort inside your Charlotte home, installing a humidifier is an excellent option.
